The headline should probably be about the would-be assist from Vini jnr, though, because that was a pass you could watch on repeat all day. He picks up the ball around the halfway line after Casemiro robs Norway of possession inside their third. Then, off the outside of his right boot, he dispatches a bending, swerving through ball that dodges every player it needs to and finds the right one.

The right one is Endrick who was subbed on two minutes earlier for Cunha (had still been writing this when this happened). Nyland is off his line and he has a free goal at which to shoot, but his first touch is heavy and leaves him in a battle with the onrushing Nyland to get the ball away before the keeper can grab it. He does, but skews it wide of the post.

After this, Nyland denies Rayan from distance and Ryerson is replaced by Aursnes.
